OR14I1
Description
The OR14I1 (olfactory receptor family 14 subfamily I member 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.
This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the large family of olfactory receptors, which are responsible for the sense of smell. Olfactory receptors are seven-transmembrane domain proteins that are expressed in the olfactory epithelium. They are responsible for the detection of odorants, which trigger a signal transduction cascade that ultimately leads to the perception of smell.
This protein is an olfactory receptor, a type of protein that detects odorants.
OR14I1 is also known as OR5BU1, OR5BU1P.
